The best review of this product on the internet. Unlike the posers over at Fstoppers, Sal is actually a working photographer who clearly knows how to use strobes. Well produced video as well.
Ah! it's so great and inspiring to have a good photographer putting the equipment to the test creating amazing images, sometimes I wonder how Profoto chooses who showcases their products, I'm looking fwd to this light!
Great images as always Sal. I like the direction Profoto is heading with the inclusion of an app, the B10's small size and fact that they could be plugged in while using in a studio. Looking forward to adding some to my kit.
Amazing images! Do you use the flash system in TTL or manual. I just purchased the B10 2 light kit and am still trying to figure it all out. Thank you in advance.
Great video thanks - pro product - wish I could afford them. Looks fast to set up and that's important - plus durability will probably be on another level to the Chinese brands.
Sal!! So, I have been speaking with some of the other pros that were at the Alaska event.. Maybe you can help clear up something.. The real world power difference between the B10 and the B1X. Some are saying it's 1/3 stop difference! some say about 1/2 stop difference. This is insane, I just bought the B1X kit 2 weeks ago.. (still can return for 30days).. and am really wanting to know the real world power output difference, and I know you have both lights :-) Please let us know!
@@Behindtheshutter1 oh. Man! Lol. That's insane! Yeah I saw you got f/16 from that ferris wheel with the front diffuser on the ocf dish. And it was the white one too! Lol. Cool, thanks so much!
Can you throw up a quick video to show.. this would be AMAZING!! Here is a video where I have kinda gathered up all that I know so far: ua-cam.com/video/yF8ZtxDVnsg/v-deo.html
MSF Photography that was a tough scene. Prob took me 30-45 m to get set up because of all the different floors the light had to be moved to and tested.
price does not equal power. when you buy a car do you pay by the horse power? price is tied to many things - quality, construction, speed, consistency, color, etc etc. power is just one of those check boxes. if its your only check box - this is prob not the light for you.
I mean theyre great pictures but im hesitant about the power, it can fire through a beauty attachment and you still get f14 at 100 iso? Really? I want to believe it, just looks a bit far fetched...
you are very welcome!! enjoy. we have been doing some side by side testing with the A1, B2, B1, B10 - side by side to measure light output... pretty impressive what this thing can put out. enjoy!!~
I wouldn't say the fact it works with all the modifiers is huge? Be a bit none productive to make it so it will not take advantage of all the modifiers?
I know Sal is a profoto ambassador ( something like that ) but the price point for this is way too much. its 250watts at full power. same as the flashpoint / godox ad200. so you will be paying extra for the continuous light feature, the white balance adjustment , and the bluetooth function..!??! ad200 is $299 ( $30 extra for extension head ) profoto is going insane with $1600?? man..they going down the same road as.....#RIPBOWENS
If you earn dollars still it is ok but when you earn another country money it is almost car price. Light triger stand umbrella soft box.. They say global but they are kind of only eu and usa. Also dont like godox results. Like there is no middle brand around godox and profoto. Dont know what to do.
Too many reviewers are fooling you with profoto overpriced & failed marketing. Buy a much better system from ATG. 1. ATG 2. Cactus 3. Godox 4. Jinbei 5. Orlit 6. Rollei 7. Interfit 8. Paul C Buff 9. Nissin MG10 (ATG approved a complete set {ATG's 2.4GHz TTL and TTL transmitter} for less than $800.00) All are by ATG /or friands of ATG
Behind the Shutter, so you got the money to throw out on 250ws, over $2,000.00 USD! Here are the facts you might think you are wrong in pumping up Profoto. ATG vs Profoto. 1. ATG has ATG AF Assist Beam. Not a single one from Profoto. 2. Cactus RG250 with TTL transmitter has same power but less than $800.00. 3. Godox is the king from transmitters, speedlites to strobes. 4. Jinbei is a huge company. So good that ATG approved for Rollei. 5. Orlit got the approved by ATG with 2 years warranty. 6. Rollei, so you thought German made it. No it's ATG. 7. Interfit and Profoto transmitters are by ATG. 8. Paul Buff are really nice systems but non DC systems. 9. Nissin MG10 is better bank on the buck with transmitter that has ATG AF Assist Beam. Now, I bet you still are lost. But can always can do a search, if you think I am wrong.
Yes I do. I want best of breed. I want something that integrates an entire system. No different than a Mercedes vs Kia. So yes people are going to pay for better quality, better build, better performance.
Brother. Look st this thread. You want me to have some ridiculous argument w you about Canon vs Nikon. YOU Do YOU. There is something for everyone in the world. If profoto were so shitty they wouldn’t be in business and pros around the world wouldn’t use them. So I’m not jumping into some random argument about yours suck mine are better etc. if those systems work for you by all means use them. Nothing wrong w that. I’m gonna use what I use for me and my work. My work and results speak for themselves.
Colin Rogers thanks Colin for your utterly useless and unsolicited troll feedback. Feel free to share a link to your portfolio so the world can see how real photography is done.

Phenomenal shots Sal!
Stunning Pics!!!

Great images! Best B10 vid at launch.
These images are killer. I’m looking forward to adding these to my B1’s and A1 kit.
you're going to love it with the A1 - the last scene here was shot with 3 A1s and the B1 a perfect combo.
Of all 3 scenes, that one was definitely my favorite! Such a sick location and you executed like a beast!
Killer shots there. I guess I will see you at the Shoot to print tour in Atlanta.
Sal is a beast
Amazing images! Do you use the flash system in TTL or manual. I just purchased the B10 2 light kit and am still trying to figure it all out. Thank you in advance.
Beautiful shoot Sal & team. So I take it that the B10 will replace the B2 system - so as to go cordless?
PAWELECphoto yes for sure. This is much more practical than the b2 in my opinion.
couldnt agree more - other than the extra battery of the B2, but I would trade my B2 for this anyday
Great video thanks - pro product - wish I could afford them. Looks fast to set up and that's important - plus durability will probably be on another level to the Chinese brands.
this is GREAT!
Ugh I wish I could get one of those
Can you please tell me wich smoke spray you used?
Probably Atmosphere Aerosol. You can find it on Amazon.
It is the all-in-one version of the B2. If the B2 battery pack and cable is very inconvenient then the B10 would be interesting.
Jakethemase correct. I would agree w you.
B2 will languish now that the B10 is basically the same thing without the cords and large battery.
Great Job Sal...

Travis Harris Photography on my list to test see by side w light meter. But my guess based on what I’m seeing. Return b1x :)
@@Behindtheshutter1 oh. Man! Lol. That's insane! Yeah I saw you got f/16 from that ferris wheel with the front diffuser on the ocf dish. And it was the white one too! Lol. Cool, thanks so much!
its a full stop difference - what I measured in a studio with no ambient. very close to full stop
Crazy.. because others are seeing this.. neilvn.com/tangents/profoto-b10-review-comparing-power-of-profoto-b10/#comment-2174863.
Can you throw up a quick video to show.. this would be AMAZING!! Here is a video where I have kinda gathered up all that I know so far: ua-cam.com/video/yF8ZtxDVnsg/v-deo.html
Cool music....
I'm ready..
How long did it take you to get everything setup up on the last scene
MSF Photography that was a tough scene. Prob took me 30-45 m to get set up because of all the different floors the light had to be moved to and tested.
I figured that it’s an, awesome shot👍🏾
Can I do the same with 3 x godox 860 II + pro sender ?
spanish. ink I would have no idea since I didn’t shoot, review or test godox 860. Prob want to send this video to godox and ask them.
Behind the Shutter hehehehe :-) love your humor & creativity Sal. ( i will send it, courious to read what they will say)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why is it sooooo expensive for such little power...
price does not equal power. when you buy a car do you pay by the horse power? price is tied to many things - quality, construction, speed, consistency, color, etc etc. power is just one of those check boxes. if its your only check box - this is prob not the light for you.
and you need a so loud music for this video? :o(
thats your comment? the music?
It's youtube bruh. we come here to cry about dumb shit.
lmao. best answer ever. :)
2:04 Do you realize you look like the Joker or Jason with the light on your face?
John D lol not much I can do there. That’s the light reflecting off the ground. But yes. Funny for sure.
I mean theyre great pictures but im hesitant about the power, it can fire through a beauty attachment and you still get f14 at 100 iso? Really? I want to believe it, just looks a bit far fetched...
Jonathan Pearson lol. The numbers don’t lie my friend. :) the light is awesome.
Thanks for confirming it Sal, think Ill be buying one :-)
I just got one, thanks again for the help
you are very welcome!! enjoy. we have been doing some side by side testing with the A1, B2, B1, B10 - side by side to measure light output... pretty impressive what this thing can put out. enjoy!!~
I wouldn't say the fact it works with all the modifiers is huge?
Be a bit none productive to make it so it will not take advantage of all the modifiers?
I know Sal is a profoto ambassador ( something like that ) but the price point for this is way too much. its 250watts at full power. same as the flashpoint / godox ad200. so you will be paying extra for the continuous light feature, the white balance adjustment , and the bluetooth function..!??! ad200 is $299 ( $30 extra for extension head ) profoto is going insane with $1600?? man..they going down the same road as.....#RIPBOWENS
Bowens was a relatively cheap brand.
If you earn dollars still it is ok but when you earn another country money it is almost car price. Light triger stand umbrella soft box.. They say global but they are kind of only eu and usa. Also dont like godox results. Like there is no middle brand around godox and profoto. Dont know what to do.
There’s a Volkswagen and there’s a Porsche 🤷🏻♂️
Great lighting but the b10 and a1 are way overpriced!
Bowens products were cheap - I know I still own them for my fixed flash.
Too many reviewers are fooling you with profoto overpriced & failed marketing.
Buy a much better system from ATG.
1. ATG
2. Cactus
3. Godox
4. Jinbei
5. Orlit
6. Rollei
7. Interfit
8. Paul C Buff
9. Nissin MG10 (ATG approved a complete set {ATG's 2.4GHz TTL and TTL transmitter} for less than $800.00)
All are by ATG /or friands of ATG
angelisone thank god we are all entitled to our own opinions. Makes the world go round.
Behind the Shutter, so you got the money to throw out on 250ws, over $2,000.00 USD!
Here are the facts you might think you are wrong in pumping up Profoto. ATG vs Profoto.
1. ATG has ATG AF Assist Beam. Not a single one from Profoto.
2. Cactus RG250 with TTL transmitter has same power but less than $800.00.
3. Godox is the king from transmitters, speedlites to strobes.
4. Jinbei is a huge company. So good that ATG approved for Rollei.
5. Orlit got the approved by ATG with 2 years warranty.
6. Rollei, so you thought German made it. No it's ATG.
7. Interfit and Profoto transmitters are by ATG.
8. Paul Buff are really nice systems but non DC systems.
9. Nissin MG10 is better bank on the buck with transmitter that has ATG AF Assist Beam.
Now, I bet you still are lost. But can always can do a search, if you think I am wrong.
Yes I do. I want best of breed. I want something that integrates an entire system. No different than a Mercedes vs Kia. So yes people are going to pay for better quality, better build, better performance.
You should try out the Godox AD200, Jinbei Mar-3 or Nissin MG10 set.
Much less & can do more than Profoto all by ATG.
Brother. Look st this thread. You want me to have some ridiculous argument w you about Canon vs Nikon. YOU Do YOU. There is something for everyone in the world. If profoto were so shitty they wouldn’t be in business and pros around the world wouldn’t use them.

I’m gonna use what I use for me and my work. My work and results speak for themselves.
What utter crap. 1st shoot - no control of ambient. Boring full face flat. Then bus red - no contrast. I love the B10 but poor demo here
Colin Rogers thanks Colin for your utterly useless and unsolicited troll feedback. Feel free to share a link to your portfolio so the world can see how real photography is done.
We’ll wait...
I think theyre great wish I had Sals talent
